Linux System Administration

NFS - Network File System

Setting up an NFS server :
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

Next, we need to add an entry to hosts.allow to give any hosts access that we want to have access.
If we just leave the ALL:ALL entry in /etc/hosts.deny then nobody will have access to NFS.
Entries in /etc/hosts.allow follow the format :

	service: host [or network/netmask] , host [or network/netmask]

	portmap: 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.2
	sshd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
	nfsd: 192.168.0.17
